so by going to the left b post you should have been only to grab the left rear speaker. that is not a great way/area to pick off feeds to the amp just due to space in that spot. i will always run back to the head unit for any kind of tap and will not use taps of any kind i just don't trust them. the only other thing i can think of is that the vehicle ground is not large enough to handle the amperage. you may want to run a heavy ground with your fused power feed back to the amps.
